Yes, I took the Bike Shaped Object (BSO) out for a ride after adjusting the gears

I rode up the the A272 (legs were delighted powering BSO up the hill)

Then turned left and rode across town – discovered issue with changing down is fixed, the chain stays on the cogs

However it has a new issue, the chain will jump the cogs if going for top and you are not too careful – ho hum

Once across town I turned into Oathall Road and once up the top of the hill (hello legs, time to do some work again) I whizzed down the hill

Then I turned into Sydney Road and returned to the station

Finally I rode up (sorry legs, it’s another hill) Perrymount to home.

Please note riding a bike set for someone a foot shorter with the saddle angled forward is tiring for long suffering legs !

The rain had stopped so escaped out on the racer for a quick ride.

Rode up to the A272 and turned left heading for the hospital.

Carried on to the Wakehurst turn then headed for the Walstead triangle

After doing the triangle I headed into Lindfield

I passed the pond and common so then headed for Gander Hill

Went over the hill then returned home via Mill Green Road

Although dry there was moisture in the air and any longer would have resulted in vision issues through soggy specs !
